As stated in last week’s Thursday Notice, Concord Magnet 5th Grade students are invited to attend Carver's "5th Grade Scholars Program." This afterschool program is held 4 days a week, Monday through Thursday, from dismissal to 6:00 pm. The program begins on Tuesday, October 18 and runs through the end of the school year.

The 5th Grade Scholars program offers homework/academic support, snacks and elective enrichment activities. The enrichment activities are based on the talents and interests of our instructors. There is no fee for the Scholars Program, funding is provided through Lowery 21st Century Community Learning Centers Initiative.

If you are interested in signing your child up for this program, please use the link below to register.

The leaves are changing. The temperatures are cooling, but things are heating up at Norwalk Public Schools. We again want to invite our families and staff to a wide variety of events occurring throughout the month of October. These events are open to all members of the NPS community.

The NPS Family Center will host six Family Workshops this month, and we’ll have more opportunities to learn about our middle school and high school programs for the 2023-2024 school year. We also continue to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a districtwide festival at the end of the month, and a performance of “La Gringa,” the iconic play by Carmen Rivera.
